I have had many deep conversations with many great women. The cover photo is pretty significant. When one girl succeeds and you don't, don't be negative about it. You should go up to her and ask her how she did it, congratulate her and be proud that another girl has done it, learn and progress. I've seen so many girls sabotage one another to get what they want. But why degrade that other girl when you can empower her instead? Why damage her confidence when you can be the one who boosted it?
Guys are so much different, they are really good at lifting one another up. Even out the playing field ladies.
This being said women and girls can get so far in life if we'd empower one another, honestly, we are so catty and judgmental. When you're intimidated by another female in your mind you can think of some pretty nasty things to say to her so you would feel better, but why do that. If women came together we could accomplish so much more together.
First things first,
I'm extremely lucky to have been born into a family of wonderful, powerful women. At a very young age I was taught to be well rounded, which is what I think all girls should be taught. I mean do both. I grew up cooking, cleaning, pitching tents, taking out the trash, helping my dad fix things.
I wouldn't be into half the things I love doing if I was raised as a stereotypical girl.
"Girls aren't supposed to be good at playing video games, especially not CoD."
Tell that to my K/D ratio. I pretty much held the team, there are so many guys who talk smack whenever they see a girl playing video games, don't listen to them and do you, because you are a beast.
Girls can pretty much do anything a guy can do, maybe even better. Stereotypes are silly and are meant to limit the group they are trying to target. Words shouldn't frighten you, they can easily be erased.
"Girls can't board."
Looks like she's doing it pretty well, and oh look, she's in a dress with fairy wings attached.
"Girls can't run for president."
She may be our next president y'all.
Speaking of amazing women here are a few you should know.
Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier, these two were geneticists who developed a gene-altering technique that helps with fighting against vast amounts of diseases.
Coco Chanel, fashion designer, she took men's clothes and redesigned them for women's benefits.
Bethany Hamilton, professional surfer who survived a shark attack that left her without an arm, she's still competing.
Wangari Maathai, Kenyan women who won a noble peace prize for work and efforts to help prevent conflict through protection of scarce resources.
Patti McGee, first woman to become a pro-skateboarder after winning the women's national skateboarding championship.
There you have it amazing women who are amazing at doing whatever they want.
If you think just because you're a girl you can't do things, it's totally false. You can do anything you want, if anyone tells you other wise well, show them you can do it. They will look like jerks, and you'll be paving a new path for other girls and proving to yourself that you could do it despite what people say.
Girl, you got it.
